| �Hey guys,� I said, sitting next to Howie. �Hey babe. This is Nicholi. You were sleeping so soundly, I couldn�t wake you.� �That�s fine. It�s a pleasure Nicholi.� �Only for you.� I smiled but still let my hand stay out. She took it and at once, I regretted it. �If you�ll excuse me, I�m going back to my seat, to read something or other.� �No problem babe.� �Bye.� I smiled at Nicholi and took my seat. I frowned, knowing her, but from where, I wasn�t sure. I knew I had never met her before, but it felt like�. My eyes opened wide and I shook my head. �Brian,� I whispered. �What?� he asked. I motioned for him to come over and he did. �What?� �I swear, what I�m about to tell you, you can�t freak out on.� �Okay, I�ll try not to.� �I think I lived in Ancient Egypt.� He just looked at me and busted out laughing. I rolled my eyes and sighed. �Come on Theresa. You except me to believe that?� �Yes Brian. It�s not that impossible you know. The Egyptian�s highly believed in after life and reincarnation.� �But that would mean we are all part of it some way or other.� �Exactly Brian. I know things, things I don�t think any other person knows. Like that necklace. I should have died when I wore it. There�s a spell on it, Tefnut put it on.� �And?� �Brian, I�m Tefnut, reincarnated.� �I�m not listening to you anymore Theresa.� �Why? Ugh, never mind. You�ll see Brian, you�ll see. I promise. I�ll prove it.� �You can�t.� �I can damn it. And I will.� I stared at him, anger burning in my eyes. He got up and left. I sighed, so frustrated and yet so sane. �Theresa?� I glanced up and saw AJ there. I could feel my anger burning even more, but I had to control it. �Yes AJ?� �What�s wrong?� He sat down next to me and I had to remember that he was AJ and he didn�t do mean me no harm. �Nothing. I mean, I can�t say what I have to say. You all think I�m foolish as it is.� �I don�t.� �Really?� �No. If you honestly believe you�re from there, than that�s great. You can show us around.� I laughed and punched his arm. I leaned on his shoulder and sighed. �This isn�t easy for me to handle. And I�m not understanding it. I just know who I am, who you guys all are.� �And who was I? The fierce hero?� I glanced at him, hurt in my eyes. �No AJ, you weren�t.� �Than who?� �The person who wanted to kill me.� �You�re kidding right Theresa?� �Not that I�m aware of. But you know what, I�ll explain everything once we get to Giza.� �Which isn�t too long from now. In fact, that�s Nicholi�s home. She said she can give us a tour,� Howie said. �I can give you a tour Howie.� �But you don�t live there, you don�t know where everything is.� �Right. Thank you Nicholi.� �No problem. I must go, but I will stop by later, make sure everything is okay.� Howie smiled and she left. �So, what were you two talking about?� �Nothing D. Just talking about her dreams.� �Yeah, they�re weird huh?� �Yeah. I�m going to go back to me seat, I�ll catch you guys later.� �Bye Age.� He glanced back at me and shook his head. �Everything okay baby?� �Yeah.� I gazed back out my window, finally seeing the edge of land. I put my bag down in the hotel room, feeling more at home than I realized. I walked over to the window, not believing that I, once upon a time lived here, just beyond those hills. I smiled to myself and felt Howie walk up behind me. �You know, I talked to Brian. He�s freaked out.� �I�m freaking everyone out these days it seems,� I commented, still staring out the window. �In your past life, were we together?� I sighed, never really telling Howie the story. �So to speak. It�s easy if I can get all the guys in here, maybe than it might make sense.� He turned me around and kissed me. His hands held me close, knowing I need his strength, his love, his protection. I pressed my hands against his chest, feeling his heart beat stronger, faster. �Whatever goes on, I�m here and I will always love you.� �I will always love you too.� Three hours later, I stood in front of the guys, scared to tell them what I knew, yet knowing I had to. �Welcome to Giza. I know you are aware that I found a necklace, it belonged to Ancient Egypt, to a scribe/ sorceress by the name of Tefnut. The Pharaoh at this time was Hapy, his wife, Neffertiti. The legend goes that Tefnut was Hapy�s scribe and lover. His high priest was Khepri, his other scribe, Thoth. The leader of his Medji, his army was Nun and his other leader was Atum. Atum was, in all honesty, the only person who didn�t believe that what Tefnut and Hapy was doing, was right. Though, his heart belonged with Neffertiti. Neffertiti soon found out that Hapy gave his love, Tefnut, the necklace she wanted, the necklace that I now hold on to. Neffertiti vowed to kill Theresa in order to get that necklace, and she did, but not before Tefnut put a spell on it. At the time that Tefnut was still alive, the necklace only took your strength. Once Tefnut was killed, that necklace alone would kill you, burn you and you would be a walking corpse. It was said that Tefnut never went into her after life, not until she found someone who could watch over the necklace. They wanted to destroy the necklace, but it was to powerful. No one could destroy it, nothing could destroy it.� �What does it have to do with us?� Nick asked. �I was�I am Tefnut, reincarnated.� His eyes opened wide and he smiled. �No, really.� �That�s the truth. All these dreams are simply memories. I�ve come back to destroy the necklace so that Tefnut can finally rest in peace. I am the only one with the strength to do such a thing.� �So, if that�s true, what role�s do we play in all this?� Kevin asked. |
